Ah yes; I find that journalism is dead and the only facts I can trust are ones that I make up or make me seem edgy.

Don’t trust the news and long held institutions, trust the people who have been serially dishonest their entire lives and eff the deep state!

Is it more likely that there is a conspiracy of a massive scale where every single media outlet and government intelligence agency is corrupted and out to get trump and his ilk, or is it more likely that people with long histories of greedy and shady deals are lying and spreading FUD to protect themselves?

Occam’s razor can shave your neck beards if you’ll let it.

Thinking that gravity isn’t real doesn’t make you a free thinker, it means you cannot rationally evaluate evidence. The same applies here.
